Abstract
- The pathogenesis of the prune belly syndrome is unclear. The proposed etiologies include a distal obstructive uropathy or a mesodermal defect of the anterior abdominal wall and urinary tract. Detection of increased intravesicular pressure might identify those fetuses with an obstructive etiology who, therefore, would benefit from shunting.
